HELP!!! Jars of corn not growing right/taking to long?
    #19473917 - 01/25/14 08:32 PM (10 years, 11 months ago)

I have mason jars filled with corn. I did all the right steps of soaking, simmering, filling and sterilizing. I injected with Cambodian and another strain ly something thai. It has been 3 weeks and they don't look right at all. The jars walls have a very thin layer of a light streaky film of white but its hardish to see without light but they haven't clumped yet. The spores were quite old i don't remember exactly it has been close to a year. A little bit less than that but is that the main problem? And any advice using corn would be helpfull

Doesn't sound good.  A picture is worth a thousand words.

Sounds like no gas exchange, and\or a bacterial bloom. Or bad spores.

My corn from MS syringes took 5-10 days to show myc.

Myc. is pretty hard to miss. I don't think you have what you want growing in your jars dude. :frown:

That's what I figured. You choked your myc to death. You need a proper lid setup. You're getting zero gas exchange.

There was zero gas exchange. We don't really need a pic to know that was the issue.

This is about what your jar lids should look like:

I high temp silicone the Tyvek on rather than micropore tape it on.

I suppose, but what if it's just contamed. Don't jars without gas exchange at least show a little healthy growth before stalling? What if he finds a way to get that jar some ge and it just turns out to be bacteria anyways.

It isn't contaminated. Does the ziplock bag have closed in the tub? Or partially open?

Or just switch out your lids with some lids with filtered gas exchange in a SAB.
